So, today was full of fail.

I got up at 8:20am, like any workday. I got dressed and ready for work, and set out for the bus stop. I stood and waited, and waited... and waited. At 9:15 I called into work, as this is the time I am supposed to be there by. It goes like this:

:ring ring:
Bossman: Hello, McDonalds!
Me: Hey, Bossman, I'm going to be late cause either the bus is late or I missed it, so-
Bossman: It's Veteran's Day, there is no bus.
Me: ..... OH MY GOD! :O
Bossman: Yeah, I was wondering...
Me: OMGOMG, I am SO sorry! Umm...
[pause]
Bossman: Can you make it in, that's all I need to know.
Me: Ummm, no. No I don't think so. OMG, I am SO SORRY!
Bossman: It's okay, we'll manage.
Me: Okay, I'm so sorry, thank you, bye.
Bossman: Bye.


.... WHAT THE FUCK HOW COULD I FORGET SOMETHING LIKE THIS!??!!! D: I am just completely shit at anything that does not take place within my own head. Jesus... WTF, brain? WTF?

First!

DRAWME!


Then!
[info]watercolorblue asked me some questions:

1. have you been crafting lately, and if so, what've you been working on?
Right now I'm in the planning stages for my holiday cards*. I think I have a design down, now I just have to go get the supplies, and get to work.

Aside from that, I haven't really had much chance to craft in a while. Most of my supplies are in storage, and I've exhausted my supply of cross-stitch patterns and cloth. I was getting into making my own patterns, but there is a limit to what I can do with MS Paint.

2. what's your favorite part about living in Great Barrington?
Well, it's a beautiful little town. Everything is pretty close together, and it's easy to get elsewhere as the bus goes right through everything. That said, I really do prefer Housatonic. It's just more... real. GB has all the tourists and traffic and crowd and stuff. Housatonic feels more like a town/village than a tourist trap.

3. describe your favorite item of clothing.
It's a military cap my first boyfriend gave to me. I've covered it with various buttons, including a gold 42 which used to be part of my grandfather's police uniform (he was in the 42nd precinct). It's just fun and silly and so very me. I don't get a lot of opportunity to wear it anymore, but there was a time when I wore it every day.

4. if you could meet any celebrity in the world today, who would you meet?
David Tennant.

5. what was your favorite subject in high school?
History and English. Though Science was great, too.

*If you want one, go leave your address here!

I've been sick lately. I took Friday off work, and just lay in bed all day watching Criminal Minds and CSI. My cold or whatever is gone, but now my back hurts liek WOAH. I tried to rest it yesterday, but it's still bad today, and I have to go to work tomorrow. I figured it was laying in bed all day that threw it out of whack, so I got up and went out today. I've been sitting for the last 5 hours or so, but it's better than laying down. I just hope it's at least a bit better tomorrow. I'll go into work anyway, but I don't think I'll be much of a help. Even if I go to the hospital, I'd have to get someone to take me all the way up to Pittsfield since the one just around the corner doesn't have a CT or anything. They just told me it was because of a UTI last time I went there with back pain (when I was in so crippled with a stabbing pain in my lower back and shooting pains down my leg I couldn't MOVE OFF THE FLOOR for TWO DAYS. Yeah, that was just a UTI. It's not like I've had back problems for over a decade, and a family history of back problems, and frequent UTIs all my life. I don't know a fucking thing about my own body, apparently).

It's really bad. It feels alternately like my spine is fused and I can't stand up straight, and then like there's a golf ball or something wedged right between my spine and hip area. Fuck... at least I have Tuesday off. I just need to worry about my insurance if this doesn't go away. I've been told I was approved and that I have insurance, but every time I try to get meds they're like 'Uh, no.' So... IDK.

Uuuugh, time to go home and see if I can bum a ride to the laundromat. TTFN, pplz.

It's a bit early, but I've begun thinking about Christmas. Christmas cards, Christmas plans, Christmas gifts and the like. I want to send out cards again, and I left it far too long last year. I think there are even a few that never made it out, or came back and then never went back out, or something that, in the end, equals failure.

So! IF anyone wants a card from me this year, leave your address in a comment below (they will be screened). The cards I send out are usually in a 'Happy Winter', or 'New Years' vein, so don't worry if you don't celebrate what I do, or anything at all.

I don't know yet what I'm going to do this year. Maybe something with penguins or polar bears. I'm feeling cuddly!

---------------------------------


In other news, I have made some progress on the car situation. I met with my job counselor today, and together we called the garage and found out what's going on there. They're still not charging me any storage (for yey!), but I will have to have the truck out of there before it starts snowing in earnest. I just have to call Construct again and tell them what the mechanic told me was wrong with the truck, then they will tell their mechanic, and find out if he can do it. If not, well, I'll just have to scrimp for a bit and bate the bullet and pay full price to get my car out. The whole bike thing isn't going to work very much longer. I've already had maybe half a dozen asthma attacks, all right after riding in the cold. I have an inhaler now, but it's still probably not a good idea to do something I know will leave me in respiratory distress.

I'm sitting in the cafe, and there's a guy sitting at a table across the way, and I think he's drawing me. It's a bit of an odd situation. I mean, what the fuck? I'm a little bit flattered, and a little bit uncomfortable at the same time. I guess I'll have to see what he does. If he is drawing me, I'd kind of like to have the drawing. This is not something that arises much in life.

A few months ago, I made a story submission to AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, but it never showed up on the site. I just figured it was either way backlogged, or just not up to their standards. So, whatever, right?

Then, I checked my email and find an inquiry as to how I'd like my book submission credited. o_o

I don't know when the book is coming out, but, eventually, people are going to be able to read about the time I told my Grandma to 'Fuck Off' in dead tree format.



Would this be an appropriate Christmas gift to family members, you think?

Why do smoothie places put bananas in, like, EVERY smoothie? I get that it's a filler, and it's good for you and stuff, but, IMO, it totally overpowers the other flavours in the smoothie. Plus, it's in EVERY SMOOTHIE! I can understand in a 'Tropical Smoothie' or even a 'Strawberry Smoothie', but 'Berry Madness'? 'Creamsicle'? 'Pineapple Dream'? These are not things I associate with banana.

I just bought a new wireless adapter for my laptop. The one it came with isn't strong enough to pick up the signal at my home. When I tried to install it, I got this error message:



I use Windows XP, and my account is the only one. The computer was a hand-me-down, though, so it may have been set up weird, and I wouldn't know how to even find out.

It says 'Zonet Wireless 802.11g USB 2.0 Adapter' on the box.

I've already gone to the website and tried downloading the driver from there instead of using the one that came in the box, but no luck.
Any ideas?

I got my new wireless antenna thingy in the mail today, but my computer doesn't seem to want to let me use it. Figures... Hopefully Mom will get me the new laptop she promised me, but she hasn't mentioned it for a while, so who knows. I guess I'll be spending more time at the local coffee shop after all.

Life is really hard without a car. I mean, there is the bus, but it doesn't go everywhere, and it stops running at 6pm. I can get to work and back okay, but anything after that has to be in walking distance.

I did a lot of walking today, well, part walking and part biking. I biked to the laundromat this morning and then back, then I walked to the bus stop, rode up to Housatonic to check my PO Box, then went to the library for a bit. The people I used to live with were there, I'd forgotten how often I'd run into them there during the day. They didn't say anything to me, nor I to them, but I didn't stay very long. I was stuck between a desire to run and another to not let them run me out of my favorite place. In the end, I decided to just go home and try out my new gadget. But you know how well that went. So, I got back on the bike and am now at Fuel again. I had hoped to get some help with the gadget in a forum I frequent, but I don't think anything is going to come about before I have to leave as this place closes at 7.

I just want to be able to get online at home is all, I don't know why it's proving to be so difficult!

I don't know if I'll be able to do this for seven days in a row, but it'll get done:

Day one: a song -- Ludo - Save Our City
Day two: a picture
Photobucket



Day three: a book/ebook/fanfic The Forrest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
A post-apocalyptic/zombie/romance/horror/adventure book. Good read, if a bit of a downer.
(I tried to get a link, but my computer is being wonky. Ugh!)


Day four: a site Sin Titulo - A delightfully bizarre on-going webcomic I've been following recently. Go check it out.


Day five: a youtube clip

I cannot actually watch youtube videos on this computer anymore, so I hope this is the one I was thinking of:

Serenity - Defying Gravity



Day six: a quote: "There is no such thing as an unwritten life, just a badly written one."

From my newest favorite movie. Anyone who knows what movie it is gets an e-cookie.

Day seven: whatever tickles your fancy

-----------------------------------------------------------------


From [info]zestylime:
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".

1. I hate wearing shoes and socks, but love to collect both. I also have a completely rational fear of walking around barefoot from once getting a microscopic piece of glass stuck in my foot and having to go around on crutches for more than a week until it could be removed.

2. I love painting my nails, but I never do because 1. I suck at it, and 2. I can't be bothered to take it off and redo it, so after a couple of days there's just that raggedy little bit in the middle that will stay there for weeks to come.

3. I cannot play any musical instruments, but I did try to learn the French Horn in middle school and have owned and dabbled in, at one time or another a guitar, a mouth harp, an electric keyboard, a recorder, and an xylophone.

4. I am addicted to the Sleuth network.

5. As much as I would love to meet the people I am friends with online, I am afraid if we meet we will not have enough in common and end up having a horrible time. This is probably the biggest reason I haven't met any of you.

6. The coffee shop lady recognized me today. She asked me if I went to school around here, and I told her I just moved near by. She said she was wondering because she had just started seeing me around, and that I am always welcome. Now I feel bad because I really only come here so often for free wifi, and will probably stop coming once my new wireless antenna arrives in the mail.

7. My niece keeps asking me to make my hair 'all colors' again. I am so tempted, sometimes I think it would be worth losing my job. Almost.

I am so bad at update posts with actual content in them. I'm way better at writing about stupid things I happen to be currently thinking about and memes...

I've been splitting my time lately between work and the local coffee shop. They have wireless internet here, and as long as I buy something, they don't seem to mind me staying for hours. I've been downloading all the new fall shows, and trying to catch up on others I managed to miss over the summer. There are A LOT! XD So, I spend my nights catching up, or watching a movie I rent from the Redbox after work. Thrilling, I know.

Actually, Tuesday night I did go out, last Tuesday, that is. One of the local theaters shows random movies during the summer, and they were playing The Princess Bride! I was SO psyched to see it on the big screen. I was only, like, 3 when it came out, and it's been one of my very favorites ever since. I managed to convince a couple of friends to come with me, and then, cause we didn't feel like going home yet, we went to McDonalds for ice cream afterward. Not exactly a Big Night Out, but for a bunch of poor 20sometings, it was a pretty good evening. The movie got a pretty good turn out. It is SO different watching a movie with a big crowd, even if you've seen it a thousand times, and especially a comedy. One of my friends had actually never seen it before! :O I tried not to play it up too much for him. I hate it when people do that. I found out later he thought it was a 'chick flick', which I guess I can see thinking if you know NOTHING about it, but he enjoyed it anyway, the silly boy.

As I said I've been spending a lot of time at the local coffee shop. It's called 'Fuel', and it's about a half-mile from my house. Everything worthwhile, it seems, is a least a half-mile from my house. I have to walk a half-mile every morning (at 9am, no less) to get the bus, and then walk a half-mile back every night. The laundromat is a half-mile the other way, and it's mostly uphill on the way back. BUT! My housemate-friend, Brandyn, has a bike, and she lets me use it. I don't know if it's the bike (which I think needs some tuning up, or tightening, or something, idk), or the fact that I haven't really riden a bike in about a decade, or the other, no less factual, fact that I did all my previous riding on the table-like state of Florida, but... it's HARD!!! D: It really takes it out of me, especially when going uphill. It's been getting colder, too, which is Bad News for my spiteful lungs. I also discovered the other day that my inhaler has gone missing, misplaced in the move most likely. This wouldn't be a problem, as I rarely use the thing, even when I need to, but I made the mistake of telling the doctor this and she was like 'Um, no, you need to use that shit.' and proceeded to tell me many scary and true reasons why ;_; I fucking HATE albuterol, makes me feel like there's ants under my skin. I'd much rather have to sit and meditate a bit than not be able to sit and be all high and shit. Fucking lungs, you little bitches.

Anyhoo, I was talking about biking. It has gotten a bit better, I think, over the past month or so that I have been doing a mile or so every day. Some days, when I have the time, I even go to the laundromat on the morning, then to Fuel in the afternoon, so that's TWO miles! It's like I'm trying or something. Sadly, I don't think any of it would happen if I weren't being forced.

I really like coming to Fuel. I'm not meeting any people, which is one of the things I think you're supposed to do in a place like this, BUT I do get to overhear some pretty neat things. I've always been more of an observer than participant, anyway. And, walking down the street with my bike in tow (I am a bit scared of riding in town. There's so many obstacles people!) apparently marks me as a local. I've been asked directions, and even my opinion on the 'best' restaurant in town. I never know what to say to that. I know my view of 'best' is very different from other peoples' 'best'. I just told them to go to the diner, it was easiest to give directions to and the food's pretty good to boot.

I'm a bit worried about how much money I've been spending. Like I said, I buy something to secure my place and wireless connection in Fuel, and the food's not cheap. It's really good stuff; smoothies and awesome coffee and sandwiches, but at Great Barrington prices. I pay about $3.50 for a mocha latte, then $6 or $7 for a sandwich later on. It's a nice splurge, and not much more than I'd be paying if I went elsewhere for lunch (while losing that much internet time), but it's more than I need to pay, seeing as I've got food at home. But, if I'm biking here, I'm staying here all day, not going back and forth. Then I had to buy a helmet before biking anywhere. I've gotten teased for it, but after your life is literally saved by one, you don't like to go without. I also want to buy some reflectors and a handlebar light, and maybe a basket of some sort. It's a real pain only being able to wash as much as I can shove in a backpack plus detergent and a book. I'm thinking of just buying my own bike, but not for a while. I paid ahead on my rent for this month, and set it up so I can pay weekly. Rather than keeping money out every week for rent, I can just pay $112 or so out of every paycheck right off. This seems to work better for me than trying to save.

Hopefully I'll have less expenses as I fill out my 'new place' list. There's always something you're lacking when you move. A hamper, tupperware, a lock for your door (YES, we lock our room doors. I don't know if everyone is just paranoid or WHAT, but I figured it better to err on the side of caution, there, especially after my last room-renting experience) bus pass, or whatever. I've also still got the storage unit. If I don't empty it out in the next week or so, I'll have to pay for it again. I really need to get on the phone to Stevie, but I am so peopled-out after work... I just can't make any phone calls. It's something I have to work on, but... ugh.

I've decided to go home again this Christmas. Bill (my father for new readers) is back in jail, and I am (crossing fingers) hoping this time Mom is really done with him. She's selling the house and transferring back to Clearwater, so that's a good sign, at least. Also, my nephew, Logain, evidently doesn't remember me aside from talking on the phone. That is just Not Okay. I got the time off work. Or, at least, Russel (the boss) says I can have the time off. Mom's working on getting a ticket. I jut have to save up now, to cover the week I won't be working. I haven't been at McD's long enough to get any paid time off. I am kind of excited about it. It haven't seen anyone down there for... three years now? Except for when Mom came to visit, and that was two years ago. I've been getting really homesick lately. I mean, I HATE the place... Florida, New Port Richey... ugh, that house doesn't even seem like home anymore, I said good bye to all that when I went for Grandpa's funeral... but I miss the people, Nanny especially. I was expecting her to have moved to NC with Aunt Norah years ago. Closer, and sans Joseph. As a kid, I wouldn't go a week without seeing her and Grandpa, but now it's been three years. Too long. I just hope I don't get sick this time. Every time I go back there, I go home sick as a DOG.


So, um... that's all that's going on. Oh, I went and bought a USB wireless antenna. Hopefully it'll be more powerful than the one in my lappy, so I'll be able to steal internet like everyone else. I'll be on more, and maybe even on AIM again, yey! ^_^
Also, Mom promised me a new lappy by the end of the year. This has been on it's last legs for a year or more now. I think it has actually been my inability to connect 24/7 that's saved it this long. '^_^

5. How late did you stay up last night and why? 11:45. I finished a book.

6. If you could move somewhere else, would you? The answer to this queston changes almost constantly. I'd really love to move to Alaska. It's just something I've always wanted to do, but I don't think it will happen any time soon, if ever.

7. Ever been kissed under fireworks? No.

8. Which of your friends lives closest to you? Brandyn. She lives, literally, down the hall.

9. Do you believe exes can be friends? Depends on the relationship and the break up.

10. How do you feel about Dr Pepper? I love it, but it makes me sick :(

11. When was the last time you cried really hard? About a month ago.

12. Who took your profile picture? I took my FB pic.

13. Who was the last person you took a picture of? Myself... or maybe Brandyn.

14. Was yesterday better than today? Hahahhahaha... no.

33. Do you smile a lot? I don't know. I get asked 'What's the matter' a lot, when there's nothing the matter, so, I guess not.

If someone discusses UFOs at a party, do you assume they're a visionary or bonkers? Do you consider yourself a believer or a skeptic?

If someone starts discussing UFOs at a party, I think they're interesting and join the conversation. It depends on what they say weather I think they're crazy or not. I consider myself a believer, and think those who don't recognize even the slightest possibility of life on other planets, intelligent or not, to be close minded, if not willfully ignorant of the size and attributes of the universe in which they live.

In other news, I have a new place! I moved in Sunday night. It's just another rented room, but this lady seems to know what she's doing at least. She had the house renovated (God only knows how long ago) so there's a seperate kitchen upstairs for the renters. There are four rooms on the second floor that she rents out. One of them is taken by a couple (a friend of mine and her BF) so there are five people right now, but it doesn't seem to be that much trouble. I haven't even seen the other two renters since I moved in, so... yeah.

Anyway, I'm paying $450 a month, all included. I'm going to keep the storage unit for another month, I think. After that, or really, during the month, I'm going to go through it all and decide what's going into the room with me and what's going into the attic. I don't think I have anything I can get rid of. I did that last time I moved, and it's only been a year since. I have WAY too much stuff, lol.

The only issue right now is my car. It's still at the mechanic, and I can't afford to get it fixed yet. Last I knew, they weren't charging me for storage, but it's been a month now, so they've probably started by now, just haven't told me yet. There's rumor of a mechanic working with the housing authority who will fix cars for very little, but I'm waiting to hear from him and will probably have to pay something for towing and storage even if this place doesn't fix it. Well, their loss, really. I went in to try to set up a payment plan, and they were like 'lol, no' and I was like 'whatevs, I can't pay it all, seeya'. Geh, I suck at that kind of thing SO MUCH.

Anywhoo. The other people at my house kind of steal internet from the B&B across the street, but my antenna isn't strong enough to pick it up. We have satellite TV, though, so maybe we can convince Margret (the landlady) to add internet. Or I can wait till I get a new, stronger, better lappy. Whatever. I'm at a local coffee house right now. I had the BEST walnut/cinnamon scone and mocha latte earlier. I can't really afford this all the time, so I don't know when I'll get back online. I have to work 7 to 3 tomorrow I think (it changed because I have to take the bus. Was supposed to be in at 6am).

Another issue I'm having is my roommate friend. She borrowed almost $100 from me back when I was homeless and had money lying around. I didn't mind it cause I wasn't using it, and she said she'd pay me back that monday. Well, that was last monday, and now between the deposit for the room and moving expenses, I'm broke. The storage place called this morning and said my payment didn't go through. I'm going to talk to her when I see her, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't have any money now. All I need is $20 to pay for the storage unit, and I'm good for the week, but I don't know if I can get even that. I feel like I'm just too trusting sometimes. I like helping people, but it always comes back to bite me in the ass.

I just don't understand my sister.

First, she's telling me how inconvenient it is for Steve to get up a whole hour early to take me to work in the morning, but when I call work to tell them I'm going to be a half hour late, she gets all 'Don't do that, they will fire you! Why would you do that! You'll be sorry when you lose your job. That job is all you have left!' Thanks for reminding me. Like I don't fucking know! Also, I'd like to think I have the love of my friends and family as well, but, whatever.

I just cannot seem to get a fucking break.

In the past 5 days, I've been psychically assaulted IN MY OWN BED, threatened, kicked out of my home, left alone while the rest of my family went to the shore, learned that a second car in as many months has been deemed 'irreparable', been ridiculed at work for my mental handicaps (sadly, not a rare occurrence), been informed that my health insurance has been canceled, again, am going through withdrawals because I cannot aford my Zoloft prescription, and I just want to fucking sit in front of the fucking fan and hang out with my sisters. But NO! Melissa is in a shitty fucking mood and can't fucking compromise a fucking INCH on ANYTHING. Everything I say has to be answered with some shitty insulting fucking comeback which makes me feel even more like a shit, and I can't just sit and be quiet, because we need to watch Sex in the fucking City with the volume turned ALL THE FUCKING WAY UP. I'm not the one who spent her entire fucking life listening to blaring music and working in a club every night without earplugs because they're 'ugly'. I actually have my hearing, and, yes, the volume is PHYSICALLY HURTING ME. How is me asking you nicely to turn down the volume such a fucking TRAVESTY? I can't even say any fucking thing because I'm squatting in your house BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO!

So I'm sitting in the fucking kitchen, alone, on my laptop, after being ALONE ALL FUCKING WEEKEND, listening to you and Elisabeth giggling over whatever the fuck 'sister bonding' shit you can't be bothered to include me in. It's fucking hot, and I just want to go somewhere quiet and sleep now, because I'm fucking tired and pissed, but THERE IS NO WHERE TO GO. AND I CAN STILL HER YOUR FUCKING MOVIE PERFECTLY WELL IN THE FUCKING KITCHEN! THE TV MAY AS WELL BE RIGHT FUCKING NEXT TO ME, WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?!

I know I'm being a bother and burdening you with my very presence, fine, whatever, I'm trying to get my shit together as fast as possible, despite whatever the fuck you must think I'm doing all day for you to be so fucking condescending to be because I want to check stuff online instead of, I don't fucking know, scrubbing your floors or some shit, but I am TRYING. I literally have NO PLACE TO GO. Unless you want me to move back to Florida and live with our fucking asshole of a drunk, wife-beating, child-molesting father, I don't know what else to DO.

You say that you love me and you want to help me, and, yes, you are... usually there when I need you, but what is it about me that makes you treat me like something you need to scrape off your shoe after a day or two of being around me. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME! I know I'm not all 'cool' and 'hip' or whatever the fuck you are, but I am NOT the loser you seem to think I AM.

I have spent all weekend waiting for you to get home so I wouldn't be alone in this, and now all I want is to be out of here and alone so I don't have to deal with whatever the hell SHIT FUNK you're in, and are foisting off onto me.

I am really this close to doing something that will send me back into the hospital like last year. At least then I'd have a bed.

Have you ever served on a jury? If yes, then what was the case and what was the verdict?


View 433 Answers



I've actually served on lots of juries. In high school, I participated in a program called 'Teen Court' where juvenile misdemeanor offenders could be tried by a jury of their actual peers. They had to plead guilty to qualify, so we only handed out scentences. We could give them anything from community service to making them pay restitution or write an apology letter to writing an essay on whatever topic we gave them.

It was a good experience, and I liked it a lot. Sadly, it started falling apart my senior year, and was cut due to lack of funding soon after.

3. Hit shuffle/repeat/randomize.
4. Find photos of the first 10 artists/bands that come up (no repeats and no cheating).

You Are Ceramics



You are open to the world and it's possibilities. You are able to start something without knowing how it will end.

You trust your intuition above everything else. Going with your gut often works out.



You believe that every day objects can and should be art.

The best art allows ordinary life to be more stylish and beautiful.

List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.




1. Harry Potter - Luna Lovegood
2. Star Trek - Data
3. DS9 - Odo
4. Marvel Comics - Deadpool
5. Being Human - George
6. Eureka - Jim Taggart
7. The X-files - The Lonegunmen
8. Heroes - Syar
9. House - Kutner :(
10. Torchwood - Ianto


This was hard cause I generally have several favorites in each fandom!

I'm doing a little experiment this year. Since January; I've been recording every book I read to find out just how many I actually put away in 12 months. I did this once before in, like, 9th grade (not for a grade or anything, just to know), and it came out to 108. That time I recorded how many pages each book contained, as well, so I could figure out an average, and then see if the count was raised or lowered when I divided total pages by the average page count (yeah, I was a nerd, that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone here). It only changed by a few decimal points, so I decided to forgo that this time.

SO! Since January 1, 2009, in just 6 1/2 months, I have read 61 books, 62 if you count the one I got half way through and then lost interest in, 63 if you count that and the book I am currently reading which I should have finished by tomorrow. So! It looks like I may beat my previous score if things continue on this way.

However, I know my reading volume fluctuates depending on certain variables in my life. For example, I did not have a job until about 4 months ago. Well, I did have a job, but it was only 8 hours per week, and was easily done on very little sleep, therefore I could get a lot of reading done in one night (i.e. an entire 600+ page book I just could NOT put down (historical fiction about Celtic historical/mythic figures) but I digress). Now that I do have a job, I need to sleep more, and at specific times, so I usually manage to interrupt myself in the middle of a book to do so.

I also know the amount I read is inverse to my ability to get online. For a while when I had the internet at home, I was reading very little to nothing in book form, and just spending all my time on my computer. I don't have the internet at home at the moment, and I don't see that changing any time soon, so I don't think that will cause a dent in my reading too much as far as the next several months are concerned.

It's also summer, and there are more things to do in general. The kids are out of school, family comes to visit, there are things out of doors to do and see... who knows.

Here's a list of all the books I've read in the past 6 months:
